United States House of Representatives, Virginia District 9 : ウィキペディア英語版 | Virginia's 9th congressional district
Virginia's ninth congressional district is a United States congressional district in the commonwealth of Virginia, covering much of the southwestern part of the state. The 9th is Virginia's second-largest district in area, covering 8800.24 square miles (slightly larger than the whole state of New Jersey). The current representative is Morgan Griffith (R). Despite the fact that the district had been in Democratic hands for nearly three decades, it has always had a strong social conservative bent, one that turned it towards the Republicans starting in the 1990s. It last supported a Democrat for president in 1996, and has only supported a Democrat in two statewide contests since then. Republican presidential candidate John McCain received 59% of the vote in the 9th district in 2008, his best performance in any of Virginia's eleven congressional districts. The 9th District is the only district in Virginia that cast more votes for Hillary Clinton than Barack Obama in the 2008 Democratic Presidential Primary. Clinton won more than 60% of the vote here despite Congressman Rick Boucher's endorsement of Obama. == Recent election results from statewide races==
